Thread: Newbie Stropping Practice

You are some kinda talent find out that stuff to hook it up etc and training. i would say only 1 suggestion try it you will get benefit from it. You holding blade etc is great . Need add this .
when you flip the blade free your thumb and use it to flip over the blade not your wrist.
Think about this your wrist is a robotic hand and cannot be turned.should stay still just using your thumb turn the blade . Let us know how is your progression.
hope this helps


oops after watching video i have to add a little more sorry. i saw you are trying to do x pattern and again reverse it. what i mean.
when your blade close to your body heel of the blade should rest on the leather?if you check what are you doing heel of the blade off the strop. Remember always when you start point doesn't matter close to your body or away from it heel touch the strop but tip could be off the strop ok? (of course depends on size of the strop too. )hope this help and i am clear enough you could understand what i mean.gl
